After a long silence, Maddox let go of her with an indifferent smile.
He said, "Well, if this is what you want, then I will fulfill your wish." As soon as Maddox finished speaking, he pushed her away. Kimberly staggered backwards and looked at him in shock.
"I, Maddox Yardley, doesn't bother to have a woman who has second thoughts," he said sarcastically. He curled his lips up into a mocking smile, and his eyes were full of contempt. He added, "It's just that you taste good. Since you are so reluctant, you should stay away fromin the future." Kimberly responded, "...I know." She pulled up her dress silently. Before going out, she glanced at the coat on the ground, asking, "Can you lendthe coat to wear again? I will return it to you when we return hat night." "Lend you?" Maddox twitched his lips, "I might think about it if you beg me." Forget it.
Kimberly turned around and strode out of the office. When she returned to her seat and sat down, her chest was still undulating. She was still breathing heavily.
She kept thinking about what Maddox said. She.... tasted good? As expected, he only loved her body.
And to think that previously, she had thought that he actually liked her.
Now that she thought about it, how could she be so stupid? How could she have such a thought? It was so ridiculous. The sun would rise from the west before that ever happened.
The zipper behind her skirt was broken and she couldn't pull it up. Therefore, she couldn't get out. Maddox also didn't want to lend her the coat, so she could only sit in her seat and stare blankly into space. After a while, the elevator door opened suddenly.
A delicate figure sneaked out of it and looked around.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Kimberly heard the noise, she looked over and saw Vera from the Finance Department.
What was she doing here? While she was pondering on that question, Vera noticed her and hurried over.
"Is she looking for me?" Kimberly thought to herself.
"Hey!" Vera hurried towards her. She looked around to make sure they were alone, and then she asked bluntly, "Did you use the money already?" The money? Recalling what had happened that afternoon, Kimberly shook her head and replied, "Not yet." "Why? Didn't you need it for sbusiness deal? Why didn't you use it? Are you lying?" Vera asked doubtfully. Since she had approved to provide Kimberly tens of thousands of dollars, she had been anxious the entire night. She was constantly afraid that she and her father would suffer the consequences if Kimberly could not pay back the money.
the Yardley Corporation was not like any other small companies. In a place like the Yardley Corporation, you were fired the moment you made a mistake.
By then, which company would dare to hire them again? Therefore, Vera hurriedly asked Kimberly if she had used the money. She needed the receipt.
"I'm not lying. It's just that something special happened at noon, but..." Kimberly thought for a moment. There was no use for her to keep the money now. Moreover, Vera was obviously very anxious. Kimberly decided to return the money to Vera, to make her feel at ease.
She opened her bag and took out a card.
"Here you go." Vera reached out quickly and took it. She glanced at it and confirmed with her again, "Have you really not used it?" Kimberly nodded and said, "Yes, you can register it when you go back." Vera replied, "Okay, I'll go back and check it out. If you dare to lie to me, you won't see the last of me." When she was about to leave, she saw Kimberly's clothes were a little loose. Thus, she asked, "What's wrong with your clothes?" Hearing her question, Kimberly reached out to tidy up her clothes. However, Vera scorned, "Did you try to seduce President Yardley by exposing your shoulders on purpose?" Kimberly quickly replied, "It's not what you think!" "Oh, really?" Vera asked.
Kimberly bit her lower lip shyly and explained, "The zipper is broken. I can't pull it up." Vera actually believed it and cover to have a look. "I'll help you to look at it. Oh, it really is broken. Wait, you didn't break it on purpose, did you?" She asked.
Kimberly was speechless. She pulled at her clothes silently and did not answer Vera's question.
Vera saw that Kimberly looked aghast. Then, she simply took off her white coat and said, "I'll lend you my coat out of kindness." Kimberly was stunned.
"Why? Don't you want it?" Vera pretended to withdraw her coat back. Kimberly reached out immediately and took it, saying, "Thank you." Hearing this, a flash of uneasiness flashed across Vera's face and she argued, "Who asked for your gratitude? I just don't like you sitting here with the way you look and distracting other people from working! Hmph." After Vera left, Kimberly was lost in thought, the jacket in her hand.
She didn't expect that someone would care for her. On the surface, Vera looked fierce, but in fact, she was not a bad person. Kimberly raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
That night, after Sylvia took a shower, she ran to the next room to check on Quill. However, a servant stopped her at the door.
"Miss Sylvia, Mr. Hanover is bathing. What can I do for you?" the servant asked.
Sylvia glared at him and rebuked, "I'm here to talk to my brother. Singem when is a servant like you in the position to question me? Can't I cand look for him?"
Sylvia had a bad reputation among the servants as was known to be mean. After she rebuked the man, he lowered his eyes and whispered, This "Naiss Sylvia, I didn't mean it that way.
I just wanted to remind you that Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHanover is taking a bath. You may make Mr. Hanover unhappy if you go in now." "It's none of your business. Even if Quill gets angry on me, it's none of your business!" Sylvia ordered fiercely, "Get out of my way!" The servant didn't dare to speak anymore and could only turn around and leave.
After he left, Sylvia took a deep breath and then pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.
So what if he was taking a bath? She would just wait in the room for him to cout. By that time, she would take the opportunity to ask him how the investigation on Kimberly's matter was going. Sylvia entered the room while deep in thought. She was wearing a set of cute pajamas, which looked like they cfrom a cartoon set. This was the first tthat Sylvia had entered Quill's room. His room was decorated in such a way that it reflected his character. The walls were painted with cool colors, white and lack of warmth, and there was a touch of seriousness in its simplicity. She did not feel relaxed at al after stepping into the room.
"Who would decorate a bedroom like this?" Sylvia thought gloomily, "Quill really is a freak." She heard the sound of running water cfrom the bathroom- Sylvia looked around and noticed a briefcase on the table, with a brown envelope next to it.
Could that be the document on the matter she had asked him to investigate for her? Thinking of this, Sylvia walked over rapidly and picked up the brown envelope. She wanted to open it so badly.
However, if she opened it now, Quill would not be happy, would he? Nonetheless... her curiosity got the better of her. Sylvia told herself that she only needed a peek, and then she would put it back without anyone noticing.
Thinking of this, she opened the brown envelope quietly and took out the document inside.
At first, her nervous heart raced a mile per minute. But when she saw the information on the document, her eyes widened.
"How... how could this be?" She thought.
